Chapter 4 The Origin of the Ghost Swordsman
Chapter 4 The Origin of the Ghost Swordsman (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Alvin is not a very kind person. He does not think that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He carries all the matters, big or small, whether related to him or even unrelated to him, on his shoulders.
However, he had received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, so he naturally had his own bottom line in his heart. As long as his own life was not endangered, he did not mind helping some ordinary people to the best of his ability and solving some life-threatening troubles.
Moreover, by rescuing some people from suffering, not only will his heart become more open, but he won't have to worry about leaving behind any knots in his heart that he would regret whenever he thought about them.
Ordinary people who know how to be grateful will take the initiative to give him some rewards.
Then he would not have fallen to the point where, because he had no money in his pocket, he thought of using his strength to rob and plunder, and gradually became a puppet immersed in power and unable to extricate himself.
"Since you have completely resolved the confusion in your heart, Mr. Ivan, let's talk about your past."
I wouldn’t say that Sosia’s knowledge is the best in Lant Continent, but she is definitely a person with broad knowledge, having read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.
But even so, she had never heard of the name of the Kazan ghost.
Her favorite thing was to listen to guests from all walks of life talking about all kinds of things in the bar she opened.
Although Alvin looks very young, Sosia can conclude that he is definitely a young man with a story.
What happened to Ivan's eyes? Is he really blind? What kind of past is hidden in that blood-red left hand?
As for what kind of cultivation did Ivan take to gain such terrifying strength? You should know that there are many schools of swordsmanship.
Although it only takes a magic trick for Sosia to kill tens of thousands of goblins, as a swordsman, Ivan can easily kill tens of thousands of goblins with a wooden sword. His swordsmanship is definitely not inferior to the famous sword masters in the Lant continent.
"Wait a minute, let me sort out my thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Alvin glanced at his system panel.
Name: Ivan
Age: 18
Race: Cursed Human
Character Template: Ghost Swordsman Mentor GSD
Occupations: Sword Soul, Asura, Devil May Cry, Berserker
Role Play: 10%
Level: 40 (undetectable)
Skills: Asura's Invincible Wave, Evil Light Wave Array, Sword Soul Breaking Army Rising Dragon Strike, Fierce Dragon Breaking Sky Slash, Berserker, Rage Explosion, Soul Devouring Demon Sealing Slash, Devil Cry Death Tombstone, Ghost Flash...
Although he is only level 40 now, the strength he has demonstrated from the skills he has mastered cannot be judged by level alone.
Even if facing a strong man over level 50, he is not without confidence to deal with it. However, he is currently at level 40, which is only 10% of the strength of GSD, the Ghost Swordsman mentor.
Once he successfully masters the Ghost Swordsman's abilities after his sleep, how powerful he will be? Every time he thinks about it, Alvin always gets excited.
But it is really difficult to improve the acting level, because in this world everyone has a level.
No matter how others investigate, they will only see his level as level one.
This results in other people's first impression of him being that of a blind man wearing strange clothes, with no ability and talking nonsense, so what he says is not very convincing.
Moreover, what is being spread is the talk of ghosts and gods, which is like religious heresy, further reducing its persuasiveness.
Others just regarded him as a liar, not a cult member, because they were grateful to him for helping them solve some crises.
Without this favor, Ivan had no doubt that those people would directly sue him in the court of justice for being a member of a cult and get a wanted order. Although the road to improving his performance was long and arduous, he did not want quick success. Anyway, as long as he traveled around the continent and spread the word slowly, he would always improve.
"Since we just mentioned the ghost god Kazan, let's continue talking about the ghost god Kazan."
"When talking about Kazan, we have to mention his deeds as a human, the Pelos Empire, and his best friend, the God of Chaos Ozma..."
"As a man, Kazan was undoubtedly a legendary figure as an Imperial general..."
Alvin has the GSD template, so he is very clear about the origins and past of various powers.
Only if people believe this story, can the curse of the Ghost Swordsman continue to be discussed, as well as the path of the four great Ghost Swordsmen that he practiced.
As a listener, Sosia took the initiative to pour wine for Ivan while being immersed in the story.
She had lived for so many years and had never heard of the Pelos Empire, let alone the existence of a God of Chaos in the world. However, there were many clouds surrounding Ivan. Whether this was Ivan's fabrication or his true knowledge of the past, she could only make a judgment after hearing more stories in the future.
However, when she heard that Kazan had fought all his life for nothing but the people, and that he was a hero on the mainland, but was betrayed by his best friend because of his achievements, suffered in the struggle for power, and finally died in poverty and was resurrected by Ozma and turned into a god of destruction, she couldn't help but feel a touch of sympathy.
The achievements that Kazan made as a human being could have been praised by countless people in the empire for generations, but in the end he ended up with this sad ending.
It was hard for Sosia to imagine how powerful Ozma, the God of Chaos who was occasionally mentioned in this story, was. He was able to kill Kazan and reborn him as the God of Destruction.
From another perspective, this can be said to be giving a person eternal life, and not an immortal who is powerless, but a ghost with extremely terrifying power. This is definitely a big deal.
Then Kazan wandered the world, looking for specific people and spreading the Kazan plague, which could drive people crazy, greatly increase their strength and speed, and lead to the birth of Ivan's red ghost hand.
Sosia finally looked at Ivan's left hand, which was covered in blood and looked a little weird, and his eyes covered with black cloth.
"It seems that Mr. Ivan has successfully controlled this supernatural power."
"Yes, as the ghost god Kazan roamed the world, the concept of the ghost swordsman was born."
“As for how to harness this power, there are different options.”
"If you choose to compromise, you will become a berserker, manipulating the power of blood and energy, consuming your own potential to make yourself stronger."
"If you choose to surpass others, you will have to deal with countless ghosts and gods, and there is always the risk of being attacked by ghosts and gods, but you will also get extremely rich rewards.
"If you choose to merge, and use the power of the ghost hand to study swordsmanship, you can reach a higher level."
"If you choose to give up and choose the power of fluctuations, you can also hone your incomparably strong will and reach a whole new level."
Ivan nodded slightly, stretched out his bloody red hand, gently stroked the runes on it with his right hand, and spoke slowly.
At the same time, he raised his hand, and a red magic circle less than half a meter long appeared out of thin air above his hand.
A white-haired ghost with a red body, a throwing axe on his waist, an axe in one hand and a knife in the other, and scarlet armor on his head reappeared.
As this magic circle appeared, it looked at Sosia, causing her pupils to shrink. Her whole body felt like it was falling into an icy cave, as if she was being stared at by something ominous. She was extremely terrified.
